Marathon Moment – Week 11
April 10, 2011
A Marathon Moment…with Cindy F.
In just three weeks I will be able to say “I have run a marathon!” (Hopefully). I am very much looking forward to that day. However, I am realizing that the training for the marathon is tough- and it’s tough for the very reasons I had not wanted to do it until last fall. First of all, the time. Trying to figure out how to squeeze in an 18 mile run is much different than a 5 miler. Then there is the wear and tear on my 44 year old body! I now have a knee that requires ice after each run. Then there is the fact that I am pretty worthless for the rest of the day after a 3 hour run. As a busy mom, that doesn’t work to well when I have laundry, cleaning and a Costco trip to make. So, I am excited to accomplish the goal of 26.2, but I think it’s going to be my first and likely, my last. After May 1, I think I will happily run ½’s and call it good!
